- Why are we here? Who are we? What is the meaning of life? On this episode of StarTalk Radio, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice answer fan-submitted Cosmic Queries on a range of topics that stem from the deepest thoughts, ideas, and feelings we share about our place in the universe.
Segment timecodes at bottom of description!
What boggles your mind? The expansion of the universe? The study of black holes? Neil explains why he’s boggled by research being done in the field of neuroscience. We ponder if the human brain will ever fully figure out the human mind. We also ponder if the universe has complexities that the human mind will never comprehend. You’ll learn about the minute differences between human and chimpanzee DNA and what that could mean for humans in comparison to something that could have higher intelligence than us.
We debate how long humanity will last. We investigate the consequences of humans creating an intelligence greater than our own. You’ll hear why Neil has confidence humanity will last given the collective nature of our intelligence. We ask, “If the universe is under no obligation to make sense to us, why study it in the first place?” Neil tells us why our five senses limit us from fully grasping certain elements and constructs of the universe - and how science picks up the slack.
We talk about the aging process and the idea of living forever. Then, we dive into the big question: what is the meaning of life? Neil shares his thoughts on how he finds meaning in his own life. You’ll learn why, whenever you look out into the universe, you’re looking at the past.
Discover more about the vacuum of space. We also discuss what should be the priority, or priorities, in space exploration. Lastly, you’ll learn about higher dimensions and if they’re bleeding into our own universe. All that, plus, find out more about the shape of space itself.
This episode originally aired as a podcast on September 27, 2019.

What is your deepest thought about the universe?
Why we didn't clone Feynman...
All the galaxy that already gone far of our sight if they have matter and singularity that we have never seen before and the big-bang how far the edge is gone now and dimension space time stuff if they atome in it like the empty space is made of something and how in the hell the gravity is made i mean pure gravity
Am I gonna die a virgin?
StarTalk will humans ever be able to successfully travel trough deepspace or will we go extinct and it will it be a more intelligent life form ? Love star talk (from Afghanistan)
True
Of
False
Simplifying how to explain gravity
1 - think of space as a fluid
The mass of the earth dispersed space....
Space compresses on earth...
That's how gravity works, it is a push
I watch these to sleep, this man makes me wanna be a scientist
I think that's the point...

I watch these to sleep, my brain works so hard to understand what he is saying that I get wore out 😂
They've ruined it already. Next level stuff is out of reach
Me too😂
"We think, therefore you are." -- Chuck, that was golden, mate.
Psychachu [ official ] It gives us humans some power at least
@@Kelly-yt5ko Well things are going to exist whether we're here to witness them or not, so if you look big-picture, it's all a bit arrogant. But on the pure sense of a cat wouldn't be called a 'cat' or defined by its physical characteristics in the way we do, anywhere else in the universe - we do make the basic concept of a cat. I'm terrible at explaining things, but I hope that made at least a rice-grain of sense lol. Good morning, by the way.
@@psychachu Things (Universe) will appear as they appear only if the form you seem to appear exists as it does. They are interconnected, your body is like an instrument wich creates this apparent Universe(experience) and vice versa.
All there is, is an apparent experience happening, there is really no such things called 'real seperate things' or 'beings'. Seperation is just an assumption, a mis-understanding of the nature of Universe. And Universe is not in space or time, Universe (=all that can exist/ be precieved) equals ('your') mind.
(Everytime I mention Universe it could be replaced with the word god)
I think therefore I am - Frederick Nietzsche
I like Chuck. I think he's way more educated than he wants you to believe.
I love how many times Chuck Nice's jokes are so intuned with the conversation, if you were to ever try and use them on a friend by saying, "My problems must have no gravity, cuz when I let them go, they just stay there." You'd have to most likely have to explain the scientifical fact of the term 'let it go'.
Chuck's the man
Chucks a comedic genius!
I never really liked school when I was there, but the older I've gotten the more and more I enjoy learning and my internal curiosity continues to grow and grow
Same here!!
Every decision you ever made in your entire life brought you to this point in time and space to read this comment I typed.
Thank you. Glad you made it.
hey bran the broken.
Nice
procrastination brought me here, hello =-]
mind is blown 🤯
I ain't even mad.
A good motto for a scientist: "I am. Therefore, I think"
Not really though.
I think i am!
or a Jedi master
A preferable choice.
@OverzealousPoodleWhopper nah.... It simply implies self awareness and then thinking beyond which is simply human
I’m 26 and African American. I love to see two black brothers talking about astrophysics. We out here!!!😊
Chuck is a perfect compliment to Neil! Thank you for entertaining and educating 👍🏼👍🏼
I am your personal student of astrophysics.
100th like! Ye boi
31:30 i hated being in school, i love being a student.
i didn't mind school ...it was the principal of the thing
Hated the "teachers" loved the idea of that lie of a place
same, i hated school. but as an adult i find myself learning everything i can
If only they made school fun.... So many things done the wrong way now with education... I teach my kids more then their teachers do now... Since the teachers have become more opinionated than constructive.
Matthew Schultz .....You are more mature now...brains improve with age, usually???
the bromance between Neil and chuck is one of my favourite things about this show.
Mr. Tysons question is a fantastic one and I hope I live long enough to see it.
I would like to thank you, Mr. Tyson, for the inspiration for my essay to apply to Georgia Tech for Mechanical engineering. You have always been a great inspiration for me in the way that I think. So thank you.
I hope you get in
How was it

What!? Where did that hour go? Didn't I start this video just now? What? Man, I just love listening to Neil talk about, well, stuff. Anything! 🙌
36:20 - 36-27. you can physically see chucks mind melting while trying to find a way to respond other than wow. someone should gif his reaction for a mind blown gif.
The meaning of life: to watch an episode of StarTalk each day.
Can you even see the video with those goggles on?
Joe Rogan Interview bought me here. Love Neil D. But had no idea this channel existed. 🎀💓💓💓🎀❤😘💞😍🎀💓💓💓🎀
Amazing brilliant mind
You're in for it now then
He is the reason i got interested in the universe. His voice for me makes it more interesting and keeps me hooked.
Chuck Nice is my favorite STAR TALK comedian. He is really funny
I have been watching this for a few days now, the duo dynamics is awesome. Of course Dr. Neil is Neil, but the combination with Chuck's genuine curiosity with comedic twist make these episodes so fun to watch.
The Harvey Fierstein impression at the beginning was all I really needed to give this video a 10/10
It was pitch perfect. Totally took me by surprised. Chuck gets extra points for that.
You improve my life and lessen my suffering every single day
I was introduced (not actually or physically) to Dr. Tyson by my eldest daughter. He is her hero and super star. From Cosmos to Star Talk I've become a fan and desirer of knowledge myself.
Hi Neil, i like your baritone voice it's like silky warm chocolate to my ears.
I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THAT MR.NEIL. Thank you for a good 50 mins :). This video made me happy therefore this video made a change, Life purpose = achieved.
Thanks for watching!
I want these guys to be safe, have health, find more and more peace.
I did not realise Neil deGrasse Tyson was a Taoist. If you seek the meaning of life you will not find it. Similarly, trying to grasp the Tao moves you further away from the Tao. This show combines science, philosophy of life, and comedy in the most perfect way imaginable to me. Thank you Neil and thank you Chuck
Really good show tonight, guys. Thank you - needed it a lot.
I love that last one about the 4th dimension.
Thank you guys so much for making these videos, I did not like learning in school, but now 10 years on I can't get enough of it! :)
Every decision you ever made in your entire life brought you to this point to read this comment I typed.
Thank you. Glad you made it.
Oh BTW Mr Tyson and Mr nice you not only make science enjoyable but UNDERSTANDABLE... thank you
I would pay to be on Star Talk, for sure.
SERIOUSLY...
Do it then!
I would love to meet him, but honestly I'm not smart enough to come up with good questions to ask him lol
@@amyshort5625 remember NDT said there's education in every question no matter the intelligence behind it.
So ask away!
you can
Look for meaning - And you'll never find it. But make it - and there you go !!
Chuck, that was so deep, I’m gonna contemplate that until the end of my existence.
“We think therefore you are”
Brilliant sir.
I just want this man to sign one of my books ,won’t ever be able get to New York so won’t happen but I live in hope
Chuck always surprises me. Love that guy, funny and smart.
Love how upset Neil gets when Chuck misquotes the Matrix hahaha
One of the best parts of humanity, this show!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I watched his first episode of the new cosmos after the superbowl; loved him since. I was already in college using my gi bill to attend university less than a year after serving in Afghanistan. I changed my major and I'm now a mechanical engineer. I was only 22 back then.
"We think therefore you are". Awesome Chuck!
Universe, we think
Therefore you are
Kind of like a poetic summary of the anthropic principal
Star Talk is my own personal politics repellant.
As long as I'm watching Star Talk, I continue to increase my own knowledge, instead of stunting my personal growth by watching bias news clips and reading ignorant comments.
Chuck, please do more of Harvey!!
Neil Degrasse Tyson for president!
In my dreams!
“Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.”
- Alan Watts
That's fine, but why are these particular eyes mine? Why am I not you and why are you not me? The body gives rise to consciousness - sure, but why am I this particular consciousness arising from this particular body and not a different one?
It seems to be the most logical theory to my simple brain, but it's pretty amazing when you think about it...
@@leomdk939 what if there is no answer to that question.. as frustrating as that would be... Lol
So we are in our own physical body as an individual but are we part of a collective consciousness? perhaps we are all the same at the core, "consciousness" or "awareness" and the physical body is just a temporary host to facilitate the experience..
Or maybe it's nothing of the sort 😂
@@flimflama9333 I think there is no way for us to get to the answer, unfortunately. All that 'collective consciousness/temporary host' stuff could be true, and yet it does nothing to answer the question of "why is my current perspective from this body right now until it dies?" (and does it imply a different body after I die? If you believe in a 'collective consciousness' then it's not too far of a leap to get to reincarnation) ... I ask the question knowing full well there is probably no way for us to find the answer. It IS very frustrating - and a bit scary -- to discover that one of the greatest mysteries in the universe is the concept of 'yourself'.
Having said all that -- I think about when we were 3 years old, we were not aware enough to know that we should ask where babies come from, physically. We just accepted that they appear one day. That was a complete story to us back then. When we were 7, we did not know we should ask what consciousness is - we just accepted that it is a thing that happens. When we were 11, we did not know enough to question 'the location of self'. You just accepted that you were you and that was enough information. As we matured, we gradually 'woke up' to the next question we should be asking. With all that in mind -- I wonder about which questions concerning our existence are we still too unaware to even know we should be asking? I know NDT talks about this question in a more general sense -- but for me this question is even more eye opening in this particular context of 'self'. Maybe in a later evolutionary stage in the future, the human mind will have the capacity to ask this question of 'local self' in a better way -- hopefully one that can reveal the answer. Until then, yes -- it's frustrating that all we can come up with basically amounts to ...
... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I thought someone else would think of Alan Watts with these sort of questions!
Deep thuuuoorts. I love it.
I absolutely LOVE this episode. I was absolutely hooked on y'alls chemistry
I wish I could be there for the next 45 minutes after this Podcast ended and they took a second rip of that giant spacebong that must be just offscreen.
I just brought me own. Dig it.
Love it.
I didnt like school nearly as much as I loved learning...I learned more from personal exploitation than sitting behind a desk
It's almost as school limited your boundaries by forcing a lot of unnecessary things to you.
If the usa would be like a lot of countries, where once in highschool your learning aligned to your career choice would that of been more to your liking?
@@ishe728 I never understood why U.S. doesn't do career alignment classes.
But I remember it will cost taxpayers money.
@@christophercuston or colleges will lose their need/ purpose. They want you to go to school longer, another way to collect more money from you the student.
Can’t wait to see this guy in Mar 2021 up in PA. For those that have never attended an event in person, look them up, buy a ticket. So very much worth it. If you can afford the upgraded ticket price for a meet and greet, do it. He takes a moment with each person. And he really makes you feel like he is glad you’re there.
I didn't think this would happen or even exist, but I finally found a video related to Neil deGrasse Tyson where no one seems to be insulting each other.
The first 30 seconds 😆😆😆 I love watching these 2
This was an incredibly inspiring podcast. Thank you, Dr. Tyson
Just discovered this channel and loving it. No one i know is interested in such discussion .. And Chuck..ur eyes r so bright and twinkly ..
Wow.. learnt a lot today. Thank you Sir.
17:33 This actually blew my mind, that those sayings only make sense on a planet with gravity. Being High only makes it so much better to think about ;D A
What if we cant find alien life because they've already found how to ascend to higher dimensions or have travelled to parallel universes.
Garion Beech or they just became gods
So many possibilities, It feels as though we believe we already understand the limits to what's possible, in reality we will be looking back at today in a few centuries, or perhaps decades and be amazed at the change...
It's slightly unsettling as a species we don't really have a clear objective just advancing technology and trying not to kill ourselves in the process I guess?
@@ElTokeMaestro well a god would be able to control inter dimensional travel, not to mention travelling to another universe.. warping time and space on an inter universal level
@@flimflama9333 I have no doubt it would be the same for any species that developed intelligence. Territory, an alpha, fighting for resources etc... all things that occur in other species. We just have them on a higher level because of our heightened intelligence
@@averageyoutubeuser5537 it is inevitable that there will be continuities in the way that animals and human beings organize their structures. It’s absolutely inevitable, and there is one-third of a billion years of evolutionary history behind that. JP
Neil! Love your video. I will always keep looking up. Or...(you could say): Keep looking OUT. I'll NEVER compromise my curiosity...I'll keep looking inward AND outward to discover if and how I'm relevant. I'll also continue to be diligent in separating BELIEF from KNOWLEDGE to know the universe, and (hopefully) myself better. Keep up the excellent work; hope to visit the Hayden in the near future.
This man is unbelievable, after each and every video I’m more and more interested in learning more.. he actually became a mentor to all of us, an example of how brilliant the human mind can turn. 👏🏼
this puts a smile on my face!
I wonder how many times Chuck's had to sit through Neil describing his, "Aliens that are 1% smarter than US," thing lol like it's his first time hearing it. Or, his little, "I lost sleep contemplating the questions we don't even know how to ask yet!" anecdote.
You know, just to humor him because he's said it so many times over the years like a Dad who tells the same stories over and over for the rest of eternity. 😂
exactly my thought, and those are not the only jokes he's keep repeating !
The search for the meaning of life... it's different for each of us as we are each unique. Speaking for myself, meaning is derived from three things: have I helped today, have I learned from my search because this is the true prize, and have I accepted that there are questions that have no answers which I have continued to ask, knowing that there are no answers. Each of these is centered around humanity, how we view the world and how we act in it, how we center ourselves to the pursuit of knowledge, and how we engage with others in a helpful way. Despite the above, keeping in mind the tiny specs that we are, have we made a change that will affect the way that the universe unfolds?
We are very lucky to be here right now. Thank you universe
I was hooked for like 10 minutes on when he said "deep thoughts" with the raspy voice and accent😂😂
11:51 When one of my scientific inspirations said: "Matrix is one my favorites movies"
I knew I was truly following a really great guy 😁👏👏👌 By the way the resembles betwing him and Morpheus are quite remarkable 👌👌
Neil d. Tyson has really great chemistry with comedians. Chick Nice, Godfrey, and especially Stephen Colbert. Just great chemistry overall.
I think Dr NdG.Tyson and Chuck Nice are the best pairing for these discussions hands down. Chuck is a great guy with a fun and different perspective that just makes Dr Tyson really pop with information. Also highly entertaining while be clearly educational 🤟🤟
28:50 Currently reading the book. First one I've ever read by Neil that I didn't read non-stop from start to end. Not sure if that is negative, as in "not as good a the others" or positive, as in "I need to take a break and think about it". Maybe it's both in different places.
"What's the meaning of life"
"Its in my book"
LOL
The answer to the ultimate question is 42
Best marketing scheme in history.
@@that.happend5984 I get it
you made me laugh so hard man!
He doesn't know the meaning of life. No one does until they cross over. Which is what I believe.
to me, I hate school but I love to learn, I listen to most of StarTalk's video recently already
in my school, they skip all the universe lesson just because those won't appear in the exam
My favorite time alive so far being alive for the past 22 years besides my experiences with family, which I'm fortunate to have, is being in a classroom that provokes me to use my knowledge to the very point that it is no longer of use, and from that point, all I can do is become an open journal and absorb whatever new information that I have yet to acquire. Saddest moment was when I graduated college with a ridiculous amount of debt and realized going to school for more degrees isn't going to remove it so now I'm on the continuous job hunt that will allow me to go back to school while working.
The whole beginning I couldn't stop thinking about deep thoughts by Jack Handey.
"We are experiments in an alien toddler basement"
just a science project
@shaking like tremolo we have no idea how to prove it or even disprove it.
@shaking like tremolo there is nothing wrong is thinking from an other perspective
@shaking like tremolo see? Now that's a little different. There is nothing wrong in thinking like that.
Come on bro. We wouldn't have relativity if einstein didn't think from a new perspective.
@shaking like tremolo you want to prove it unless you want to make that hypothesis a theory.
Chuck hit me deep,my thoughts are lost and scares my community.Some people even go beyond far beyond what a normal American or human being in general should have to go through.I hope my actions and things I think meet a equal line of clarity.I hate hurting people.Pray for me
The Deep & The Deep Part II added to Watch later. Going to listen to these again now as I crash out. Thanks.
Deep moment when I got a mr tyson ad on his own video
Not really, that makes sense for an ad.
Lol. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the Barry White of Science.
I think this would go good on a t-shirt 😂
@@lovetheory9769 Barry White would beat both.
More like the Luther Vandross
I thought you said Betty White at first and I spent about a minute trying to figure out the metaphor before I double checked.
U lessen my suffering by explaining things easily!!!!
I started watching the channel last mont and dayum, I'm loving it, every night before sleep I watch a little bit. You two are amazing!
1:20 in and the into is killing me. Hilarious!
Neil, I’m pretty sure your that 1% smarter human!
You're *
Thank you so much for being here with us. You guys are someone whom I'll love to have in my circle... Who love to talk about these kind of deep thoughts. ♥️♥️
I am happy that I found you.
I live for this stuff. So many thoughts are running through my brain!
Say one day, you actually discover a way to see an element or form of matter or "non matter" that cannot be seen or received by any of our senses, but was discovered by a device or instrument. The device's way to see it is so obscure from our senses that we cant understand or comprehend anything about it what it shows us. How would you even prove this finding actually exists and can be an addition to what we know. Would it even be worth finding if it cant be researched in our current state of being?
Subatomic Particles works just like that I think, that's Quantum Physics
Not even two minutes in and I already adore the both of you! Fantastic! Thanks for sharing! 💙
Neil ill give you the first thing to make you live for 50 more years. WE NEED YOU TO DO STAR TALK FOR ETERNITY
Neil borrowed the "car talk" feeling and made it his own. Nice
The universe and all there is, seems to behave in a cycle, matter in all sorts, even energy has a beginning and an end, it's born and it dies.
I'm wondering, everything has his own frequency, i always felt that why do we like music so much, i think because it resonates with the frequency of our body and the harmony of the interaction between those frequencies makes us interact with it.
Energy isn’t born and doesn’t die. It just transfers from one form to another.
Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice. These guys have the coolest names
29:20 to 36:46 ❤ This everyday. 🙏🏽
"They're are knowns, known unknowns and unknowns unknowns!" Haha sums it up
Jason Quick @ you lost me
@@atlormerjo8830 that's because he used both they're and are together lol
@@atlormerjo8830 Basically what the quote means, there are things we know for sure, and we _know_ that we know them. For example, we know that if you drop a ball, it falls to the ground because of gravity.
Next, there are known unknowns. Basically, these are things that we don't know about, but we understand the fact that we don't know about them. For example, we know that dark matter exists and it has mass (and therefore has gravity), but we have no idea what dark matter actually is. It's an unknown, but we know that we don't know anything about it. For known unknowns, we ask questions, and eventually, figure out the answers.
Finally there are unknown unknowns. These are basically just things that we haven't even discovered yet, so we don't even know how to ask questions about them. For example, if you were to go back a couple hundred years, dark matter would have been an unknown unknown. We weren't able to measure/estimate the mass of galaxies yet, so we hadn't discovered that there had to be some other invisible substance that gave galaxies their missing mass. We wouldn't have ever had to imagine dark matter back then, despite the fact that it certainly existed back then, just as it does now. So back, then, it was an unknown unknown, because we didn't know it existed at all.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...42!!
Neil, I’m so happy that you are.
i think i enjoy this type of stand up comedy the most
(i know it's not the funniest, but more enjoyable)
"The first person will never die is now alive" mind fked.
Then the Alien need to be 100% human, to be more intellingent then a human,a chimpansee has 99% DNA
compatible to a human and only 1% difference. Love you Neil
I get what your saying but it's more like chimps are 98% humans are 99% and the alien are 100%
Neil is great, but the best part about this podcast is Chuck imo. Always cracking me up, Chuck!
I only just started watching this channel but I'm hooked, just want to say you guys are awesome!
